A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE ...

Data from past proton-electron collisions provide strong evidence of entanglement among the proton's sea of quarks (spheres) and gluons (squiggles), which may play an important role in their ...
